Introduction

FrameMaker Publishing Server

With centralized and automated publications, it is easy to integrate and synchronize publication of

technical documents with product build schedules. FMPS integrates with EMC Documentum®,

Microsoft® SharePoint, and Adobe Experience Manager that enable you to manage publication tasks

and enforce version control.

With ExtendScript Toolkit integrated with FMPS, you can create custom publication tasks that work

with source files in XML and FrameMaker formats. By creating reusable publication task settings,

you can quickly set up custom publication environments and schedule the build processes to run

daily, weekly, or at any defined intervals.

What’s new in FrameMaker Publishing Server

1) Bidirectional language publishing: Publish documents with bidirectional content, including

XML/DITA content, from within FrameMaker in multiple formats: PDF, Responsive HTML5,

Web-Help, CHM, EPUB, KF8, MOBI, and as mobile apps. Optionally, flip the HTML5 layout

or use the new responsive RTL WebHelp layout so that the navigation pane appears on the

right for RTL content, and render smoothly on any device - desktop, table, or a mobile.

2) Mobile app output: Ensure wider distribution and consumption of content with a simplified

mobile app generation workflow and native integration with Adobe PhoneGap Build. With the

licensed version of Adobe PhoneGap Build, easily publish and then distribute your content as

an installable app on major mobile platforms including, iOS and Android with just one click.

Once the app is generated, you can share the QR code or the app URL with your users to down-

load the app from the PhoneGap server. Alternatively, you can also publish the app from

PhoneGap on to Google Play store or Apple’s App Store.

Manage the branding and design standards of the mobile layout with new easy-to-use respon-

sive layout editor. Leverage the power of the Responsive HTML5 layout that comes with the

new dynamic content filtering feature that lets your users self-select the content most relevant

to them.

Deliver Help content for the audiences that are on the go.

3) Personalized dynamic content: Empower users to find relevant content faster in the docu-

ment, TOC, and index in the final Responsive HTML5 or mobile app output. Leverage existing

Introduction 2

6

conditional tags and expressions to enable end users to dynamically filter content in the final

HTML5 output, thereby delivering personalized help experiences.

Simply assign names for existing conditional tags or expressions, categorize them under any

Group you want (such as region, audience, market segment etc.), enable single or multiple

selections within a Group, and then display this two-level hierarchy as content filter criteria in

the final output.

4) New HTML5 layout: Use the customizable Responsive HTML5 layouts to deliver an amazing

content consumption experience. With more powerful search options, configure search to

appear on the content or topic panes, and show informative context and breadcrumbs in the

results. This helps your readers identify the best choice among results. You can also customize

the search context message for each topic.

The search results can also be configured to appear on the left pane.

Easily show or hide widgets such as glossary, TOC, index, and filters. Convert the layout to

right-to-left languages (Arabic and Hebrew) to meet the needs of a global audience, just by

changing one property. Also add Facebook and Twitter widgets to your pages to allow users to

share the content that they are reading – with a single click!

Provide your users with a different experience for the device (desktop, tablet, and mobile) that

they use by customizing the function bar, side bar, and TOC in the output.

Along with all these customizations, now you can also create frame-less output, which does not

contain any widgets, function bar, or side bar as shown below.

5) Embed custom fonts in EPUB output: Embed custom fonts in your EPUB output and ensure

that your users see high-quality typography exactly as you intended, whether or not they have

the font installed on their device.

The search results can also be configured to appear on the left pane.

This feature is especially useful if you are using fonts that may not be readily available to your

end users. Use embedded fonts to enhance the branding standard set by your design style

guides.

Note: You must have distribution rights for the embedded font.

6) Attractive customizable Responsive HTML5 layouts and WebHelp skins: Give your

WebHelp content a new look by choosing from a wide variety of skins from the Web-Help

gallery.

And a powerful, yet easy-to-use WebHelp skin editor lets you customize not only your content,

but also the appearance of buttons, labels, fonts, background color, search boxes, and most

components of your online content.

7) Reference page image publishing: Now, publish reference pages content such as images,

headers and footers, and logos, in all output formats supported by FrameMaker Publishing

Server.

Introduction

7

8) SVG support in HTML5 output: Let your end users see top quality images regardless of the

screen size and resolution of the device on which they are being viewed. This because

FrameMaker Publishing Server now embeds the entire SVG code in the final responsive

HTML5 output.

9) Reuse of Adobe RoboHelp style mappings: Work more efficiently by reusing style mappings

that you have already configured in Robo-Help or Adobe Technical Communication Suite in

the native multidevice publishing workflow of Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server.

10) Reusable publishing elements: Reuse elements easily with the enhanced multidevice

publishing settings file. Create elements, such as responsive HTML5 layouts, WebHelp skins,

CSS, and HTML page templates, just once. Then import or export the setting files for use

across different books and documents.

11) HTML page template support: Now improve the usability of your output by adding

mini-TOCs, breadcrumbs, and headers and footers. Configure the output settings just once

and then easily reuse these across all outputs to give your users a uniform experience.

12) Integration with DITA Exchange CMS: Leverage the new built-in connector to the DITA

Exchange CMS to manage your DITA content easily. Use the Repository view to check-out

files, manage dependencies, version management and perform search. Use the advanced meta-

data-based filter to quickly browse and find relevant topics, DITA maps, or graphics in a large

volume of content.

3) Locate the following lines and enable them by removing the commenting:

<!--<endpoint address="fmserver/v1" binding="webHttpBinding"

contract="Server.IWebService" behaviorConfiguration="webhttp"

bindingConfiguration="securehttp"/>--> <!--<endpoint

address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="Server.IWebPage"

behaviorConfiguration="webhttp"

bindingConfiguration="securehttp"/>-->

4) In the IIS > fmps13, select Authentication (under IIS).

5) Disable Anonymous authentication.

6) Enable Windows® authentication.

7) If you do not enable authentication, while using the FMPS using API commands, you do not

need to pass the authentication-related parameters. For more information, see Working with

FMPS using the APIs.

Installation and setup 3

Install a command line tool

Install a command line tool, such as cURL, to pass commands to FMPS. cURL is a freeware

command line tool.

Manually install FMPS13 website in IIS, if necessary

If FMPS fails to install the IIS website, you can execute the deploy command to install the website.

To manually install the FMPS website, log in as Admin and complete the following steps:

1) Go to FMPS installation folder. (Program Files

(x86)\Adobe\FrameMakerPublishingServer13\deploy)

2) Run the bat file in with the following syntax (log in as an Admin to run this command):

deploy.bat addsite -sitename <newsite> -port 6234 -physicalpath

"<path>" addpool[or setpool] -poolname <newpool>

In this command, provide values for newsite, path, and newpool.

Enable http ports for FMPS access from other network machines

To allow Win Server (example) for port access 6234, check if the http ports for FMPS access from

other machines is enabled. If it is not, enable the http ports for FMPS access.

1) Click Start, type Firewall.cpl, and then click OK.

2) Click Advanced Settings.

3) Check if an inbound traffic rule is already enabled or not. If it is not,

a) Right click Inbound Rules on the left pane.

b) If a new rule by the name FMPS Port Open exists and is checked. the ports are already

enabled and you do not need to go ahead with this task. If such a rule is not visible, create

a new rule by following rest of this task.

c) Select New Rule.

d) Select Port.

e) Under Specific Ports enter your port number (Default is 6234. All the examples in this

document use the port as 6234. If you have set the port to something else, replace 6234 in

the examples with your port number).

Installation and setup

f) Continue with "Next" until the end of the wizard. Name the rule when prompted.

4) Check if your port is now accessible - if required, restart the Windows® Firewall service (under

Services).

Enable email

Complete the following steps to enable email notifications of tasks (such as “Run successful” and

“Run failed.”):

1) Open server.ini on the following location:

Program Files (x86)\Adobe\FrameMakerPublishingServer13\

2) Locate the following flag and set its value to your mail server (Example:

inner-relay-1.corp.abc.com):

server

NOTE: Now you can specify email IDs for notifications while creating tasks.

Enable browse functionality through Java™ applet

IMPORTANT: As Google is discontinuing the support for NPAPI, which is used by the browse function-

ality, we recommend using alternates to the Chrome browser.

NOTE: You need to have the latest JRE installed on your client machines to use this functionality.

When you launch the FMPS website, the browser prompts you for permission to run Java™ applet.

Allow the browser to run the Java™ applet to enable browse functionality in FMPS.

Otherwise, while opening various files FMPS, enter the path and name of the files manually.

Creating and managing publication tasks

Publishing

Tasks

You remotely define the publication tasks in Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server and schedule

them to run at the required interval. A task is a complete collection of all the build information that

is required to run a publication task.

For more information, see FrameMaker Publishing Server: Automated publishingdelivered

remotely.

Typically, you define a task for each book or source document that you want to create outputs from.

For example, if you have a book file from which you want to create Adobe PDF, WebHelp, Adobe

AIR, and EclipseHelp outputs, you specify the following:

Input Source

Location of the source document or book. You can specify sources from the local file system,

a network or WebDAV folder, an EMC Documentum® repository, a Microsoft® SharePoint

repository, or Adobe Experience Manager (AEM).

Output formats

Output formats required and their settings such as PDF settings and RoboHelp settings.

Online Help formats such as WebHelp, Adobe AIR-based Help, ePub, and EclipseHelp are

defined in the RoboHelp project settings.

Presets

Presets for PDF and RoboHelp tasks include settings such as Job settings, Display settings, PDF

Bookmarks settings, and DITAVAL file to use. Preset help you apply these settings to repetitive

and similar tasks and save time.

Output location

The location where you want the output from the build process saved. You can specify the

output location as a folder in the local file system, a network or WebDAV folder, or an EMC

Documentum®, Microsoft® SharePoint repository, or Adobe Experience Manager.
